Giants Waive Safety Chad Jones

Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports that the New York Giants have waived/injured third-round safety Chad Jones. Once Jones clears waivers, which he's expected to do, the Giants will place him on injured reserve. Jones will miss the 2010 season after nearly losing his left leg in a single-car accident in New Orleans last month.

pretty predictable but why not just put him on I.R. instead?

 

well this sucks. I still think our D has a shot

 

He might be half decent after he heals up. Don't know why they're releasing him.

 

I don't think they can......it was similar with Hixon. In order to go into camp with them not counting to the training camp roster they had to do it this way...or something like that

 

For strategic reasons about roster spots/pay and what not. Don't know all the details yet though.

Of course it does. Our D wasn't living off of rookie Chad Jones. He was 4th on the safety depth chart at best. We will miss him on special teams though.

For strategic reasons about roster spots/pay and what not. Don't know all the details yet though.

Well will retain his rights when all is said and done.

 

I disagree I think Jones would have been 3rd string and that's if Kenny Phillips makes a full recovery and they use Michael Johnson as 2nd string at FS and SS.
